Cat bite, rabies...

What is the name of your state?WI
long story short..daughter got bit-scratched by a cat..(not our cat)..didnt think anything of it..she was playing with it..cat gets sick and goes to the vet...vet gets rid of the body before a rabies check can be done... 2 weeks later I get a call from the health dept saying I have to get my daughter to the doctor for the rabies shots just in case...anyway..the vets insurance company payed for the shot and now wants to settle out of court for pain and suffering...I assume id be signing all rights off if i settle..is it like buyign a car..they shoot me a number and then I go back higher or just get a lawyer..

That is NOT a safe assumption.

concern for the money..excuse me but this happened almost 1 1/2 years ago..If was I was so worried about money I could have settled a long time ago..and no..she doesnt have rabies...it can be up to 2 years..nobody really knows how long it can/could take..if at all, if the cat even had it..thats why the vet is guilty..he screwed up.
